Why does nobody talk about the 6 bags of frozen veggies I finally cooked instead of tossing?
I cleaned out my freezer last Saturday and found 6 bags of frozen vegetables I bought back in March, all buried under ice cream and old bread. I always told myself frozen stuff lasts forever, but I was just using that as an excuse to buy more and never actually cook it. So I dumped them all in a big pot with some chicken broth and made soup for the whole week, and it hit me that I had been throwing away about $80 a month in food I never touched. My rule now is simple: if it's been in the freezer past 2 months, it goes in the pot or it goes out. What's your freezer hiding that you keep pretending you'll get to?
